Rai stayed bundled up...
... until I got out the snacks.
We were fortunate enough to go the first day the monorail tracks defrosted, so we had beautiful views of the nearly-frozen remote areas of the zoo while still being able to see the animals basking in the sun.
As you can tell, Rai was full of smiles, but I couldn't kneel down to take his picture without him mirroring me. :-)
Needless to say, Rai was more photogenic than the animals!
For those that don't know, I grew up fascinated with snakes. Yes, before my dreams of becoming a broadway actress, I longed to be a herpetologist. (I blame the summer zoology camp my parents thought would help lure me to the sciences. Instead, I sat in front of a Burmese python terrarium trying to find a way the persuade my parents that a snake would make a great pet.) Although I don't want Rai to run around picking up random snakes just yet, I always make it a point to show him how interesting snakes can be. During this trip, he ignored my interests in the Albino Reticulated Python and instead took a liking to the Burmese Python.

Rai and Aaron enjoyed an afternoon of playing chase. As you can tell, Rai still loves his broom and duster set!
